UN warns of surge in acute malnutrition among Gaza’s young children

The UN says that child malnutrition in Gaza has almost tripled since February, with more than 2,700 cases found in May alone. Over 16,500 kids under five have needed medical care this year, and many of them were in serious condition.

Only four centres remain to treat severe cases, and some have shut down due to fighting. The WHO says Gaza's health system is falling apart and asks that its last big hospitals be protected. Health workers and UN experts say that Israeli attacks on hospitals are making life harder and harder for Palestinians, according to UN News.
